Thanks :) I've already found it though, in several places but asiatorrents.com is the easiest access source :)

(It's ok to leave it on my personal page, though?)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that :) I thought it'd be okay since the review was about the series overall and the eps are independent from eachother. I've deleted it from the page for the show. I'll repost when the series have ended.

25;th of april.

Oh wow, thanks for a really interesting list of recs! I will definitely check them up - it's interesting to see how Movies depict these kinds of problems, and it's important to educate people...
I am a "psycho" as someone else in another comment, was discussing, and even though I live in a country (Sweden) where it's not that stigmatic - many people will raise their brows and look at me kind of pecualiarly when I tell them.
I am completely open with my problems since they tend to cause me some weird situations sometimes and also because I don't consider it as something to hide nor be ashamed about. :)

I have several diagnoses (neuropsychiatric ones tend to overlap), I have Bipolar disorder, ADD and suspected Aspergers syndrome - but I'm pretty normal, just that I have some traits that make me intense sometimes.
I have severe downs, extremely creative ups with bursting energy and inspiration, I get bored easily, daydream a lot, obsess over things easily and talk too much (as well as blurt out insensitive stuff sometimes... which I have learnt through out life, to handle.)

This article was interesting, as were your recs :) Thanks again :)

Thanks! I was searching for something to watch tonight and happened to stumble upon your recs - and you got me hooked already with your words about "Broken".

I have this in my "To Watch"-list since it sounded kind of interesting - I like dramas and Movies in a school setting (might be some weird kink about school uniforms - lol - but I'm "allowed" to say that as a chick and not be called a pervert... haha :P which really is pretty sexist but true... :)
But I've been hesitating to watch it, for some reason. Now I changed my mind back to thinking that I might give it a try soon.

Check.

<3 Thank you :) Nowadays, I'm not sad any more. I cherish the memories of my stubborn, rude, moody, childish, silly, sarcastic and annoying father - who was also intelligent, funny, brave, hard working and admirable. :) We always clashed about just about everything, but during my time caring for him while ill, we reconciled in silence and for that I am truly happy. I remember both the good and bad things with a smile, having realized that we are so much alike and that I really am my father's daughter :)
His illness broke me back then, but it was also a lesson, a reason to live each and every day as it was the last. And this drama reminded me of that.
I am currently nagging Swedish television to buy this drama and I really hope I'll succeed :) I am doing a Swedish sub for it, because I want to share it with my mother, who doesn't read English subs very well, Hard work, but worth it. I really, truly loved this drama <3 I wish I'd find a way to send just a small thank you to Miura, a note about how true and great his performance was :)

I really think you should try it again -. I promise you, it's not depressing in the end - quite the opposite. It's sad, but it really is one of the most inspiring and hopeful stories I've come across. :)

Whoah... I really hope you get to see her and that everything works out :)

Oh I wish I could go - I am most definitely jealous! Have a nice stay in Japan!

I will check out your recs :) Just wanted to say - WATCH this series... absolutely friggin' awesome :)

Thanks for a good reminder! I had forgot all about Asiatorrents - it's been years since I've used it. I already got all the parts home from the first Place but I'll DL it from AT as well since there seems to be subs.
So sorry to hear about both your friends and your grandfather :(
Disease is a hard thing to tackle - in a way it gives time for reflexion and goodbyes but on the other hand it's quite agonizing to see someone wither away.
I'll take notes on the ones you mentioned - I'm a sucker for tearjerkers as well... My brother has been nagging me about 1 litre of tears for years, I really need to watch that as well.

Thank you! It's quite decent quality as well. :) The link to subs was broken but I'm sure I can find them somewhere with a little bit of detective work.
Thank you for your words about my dad as well. It's a really awful disease and I have high hopes for the series to portray it in a truthful way.

Ok :) But still, I find it rude and unecessary to call someone names because on doesn't like their acting abilities. I don't call people fugly stuff just because I don't happen to find them very good at what they do.
Jiro Wang is popular so I guess many do find him good in some way or another. Or maybe just good looking, IDK and don't really care either.
You seem to be blurring the line between the character and the actor, which would be two separate things - even though you clearly hate them both.
I just don't get why one would spend energy spewing shit and being annoyed over something so trivial as a fictional character and an actor who one hasn't even met nor knows.
But that's just me. I have a very bad temper and a really foul mouth myself but I contain myself when discussing things and writing stuff on open forums. It's just not very nice for people to read. A discussion is always more pleasant and interesting than people just bashing stuff/each other. Not that there was very much to discuss. I just felt like expressing that I think that respect is the way to go.

Not that I think that Wang is going to read these comments, but if he did, I'd feel sorry for him.

Whoah. Take it easy with the blood pressure... :)
Nah, he's far from my favourite actor and I don't "love" any actors.
I haven't asked you to take back anything, you are completely entitled to your own opinion. So am I - you are rude, have a bad temper and a foul mouth. :)

No need to be quite THAT aggressive about it :) Calling someone a "lowlife scum idiot" because you don't like his acting is pretty harsh...
That's Jiro Wang for you - he often plays those hysterical comical roles since he IS kinda hysterical and over the top. And Kinnosuke (as in the original character from the manga) IS totally over the top so Wangs acting is pretty much right on spot, whether one finds him too much or not. I like him even though I find him annoying sometimes.

I like the japanese version better than the korean one and so far I like this more than the japanese one. IMO the japanese version is too childish.

This drama is friggin' awesome! I found it because I had heard some good things about it and also because I am a fan of Lee Min Ho - and I wasn't disappointed! I didn't like the manga very much, but this storyline I dig. Great acting, GREAT action scenes, plot is well built up and it never gets boring since it has that perfect mix of action, melodrama, 180 degree turns, humor and romance. So, sure, even though it's an action drama, it still has a lot of different layers to it. Love it, love it, love it, love it. I will def come back and see it again.

Hmm, I seem to be having a hard time finding this drama - does anyone know where I can watch it?
